You should do what is best for you, what will make you happy. Work where you feel you will grow and feel like a team. Where you are proud to work. It sounds like you have already decided, and just...

I’m 45 and have only 2 years experience, in acute care and one in critical care. I think I can speak for both of us and say we aren’t elderly and we are physically able to handle med surg, acute...
I appreciate the responses. I’m also surprised At all the times on this site how unsupportive we can be. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch”, “I’m amazed you need clarification”. Please...
It’s long term care so there’s no pharmacy to check with. The doctor said if he writes two tabs it’s two tabs not the mg I’m just concerned with how it’s suppose to be done and if I can be...
Exactly if we don’t understand it it’s a issue. It should state only mg we have enough sense to figure out how tablets based on that. I didn’t stay how many mg each tab are because it changes...
Thank you that’s what my gut and brains were telling me while the others argued with me about it. It felt wrong and against what I’ve been taught and I questioned it because they were telling me...

That’s a comment from someone who hasn’t lived or worked down here, I’ve been to these facilities and they do not have caring nurses working at them, I’m not saying I’m better I’m saying I...
So I’ve always worked in the top facilities, I’m a very good nurse, meaning I care a lot about my patients , I have a lot of empathy as a person, like most nurses. However, here in Atlanta...
There are different kinds of political issues everywhere. It doesn't matter what facility you work at or where you go you will run into different problems. I've had the racial issues at many...
Im wondering if anyone else at other facilities is crossing this issue. Fall risk patients insisting on privacy in the bathroom and falling in the process. If a patient insists we cannot enter the...

I did hand my keys to my LPN and nurse manager I already know about abandonment I would never do that. The only reason I stayed as long as I did was because I care about my patients. I'm feeling badly...
